The annual meeting of the Irma
United church congregation was
held in the church on Tuesday eve-

gret that the congregation were

History In The Making

WE ARE LIVING in troubled and difficult times, but this is also a
momentous period in history and it is our privilege to witness the shaping
of events of tremendous importance. Many such events have occurred dur-
ing the past few years, and there will be many more before the final ending
of the, present world crisis. In our time we have seen nation after nation
overrun and life ang property destroyed on a scale never before dreamed of.
We have seen the development of air warfare, and the introduction of rocket |
bombs and jet-propelled ‘planes. We have likewise witnessed the beginning |
of tank warfare on a gigantic scale and our radios have brought to us
the thunder of the powerful explosives used in modern combat. Through
the press, radio and motion pictures we have become familiar with the
faces and voices of most of the notable personages of the day, and by
means of these mediums we have been able on many occasions, to see
history in the making.

To Napoleon the map of Europe many times, and much history |
was made during his lifetime. Some observers, however, have drawn atten-|
tion to the fact that while much has been written of political and: military |
events during the Napoleonic era, the invention of the steam engine, which |
took place during the same period in history, has had a more profound |
influence on the course of history than Napoleon's many sensational exploits. |
It has been suggested that a similar situation exists today, and that we.
may now be on the verge of as great a change as the industrial revolution
of the nineteenth century. But at this time the change may be connected
with science and téchnology, and it may have wide effects on both our

economic and social relations in the future.

The proverb about an apple a day

‘truth in it than some of us may

Because apples are considered a

actual health-bestowing qualities are
often underestimated. The wisdom
‘of including apples in one's daily diet
can hardly be questioned after read-
ing what a_ bulletin on = agricul-
ture has to say about them. It
stresses the following points:

“They are the source of . natural
fruit sugar and thus provide energy.
Eaten raw between meals they sat-
‘isfy the craving for sweets.
| “The water contained in apples is
in its purest form. ;
“They tend to promote proper
elimination, as skin and the frame-
work provide bulk and the organic
saJts are diuretic.

“Apples counteract a tendency to
acidosis as they leave an alkaline ash.
